This is a somewhat strong wording; it depends on how root has installed guix in the first place. I think the approach you hint at is recommended by the manual. Personally I do a "make install" on my git checkout and have /usr/local/bin/guix point to $PREFIX/bin/guix, where $PREFIX is what I gave when doing "./configure --prefix=$PREFIX" for guix. Andreas
